    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a wafer transfer robot having a robot blade that can be used to handle substrates that are patterned on both sides without causing warpage of the substrates. In some embodiments, the wafer transfer robot has a robot blade coupled to a transfer arm that varies a position of the robot blade. The robot blade has a wafer reception area that receives a substrate. Two or more spatially distinct contact points are located at positions along a perimeter of the wafer reception area that provide support to opposing edges of the substrate. The two or more contact points are separated by a cavity in the robot blade. The cavity mitigates contact between a backside of the substrate and the robot blade, while providing support to opposing sides of the substrate to prevent warpage of the substrate.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of gettering that provides for a high efficiency gettering process by depositing a gettering material on a roughened substrate surface, and an associated apparatus. In some embodiments, the method is performed by providing a substrate into a processing chamber having residual gases. One or more cavities are formed in the substrate at locations between bonding areas on a top surface of the substrate. Respective cavities have roughened interior surfaces that vary in a plurality of directions. A getter layer is deposited into the one or more cavities. The roughened interior surfaces of the one or more cavities enable the substrate to more effectively absorb the residual gases, thereby increasing the efficiency of the gettering process.

    Abstract: A method of etching a trench in a substrate is provided. The method repeatedly alternates between using a fluorine-based plasma to etch a trench, which has trench sidewalls, into a selected region of the substrate; and using a fluorocarbon plasma to deposit a liner on the trench sidewalls. The liner, when formed and subsequently etched, has an exposed sidewall surface that includes scalloped recesses. The trench, which includes the scalloped recesses, is then bombarded with a molecular beam where the molecules are directed on an axis parallel to the trench sidewalls to reduce the scalloped recesses.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) device is provided. The IC device includes a first die including a first substrate and a second die including a second substrate. A plasma-reflecting layer is included on an upper surface of the first die. The plasma-reflecting layer is configured to reflect a plasma therefrom. The second substrate is bonded to the first die so as to form a cavity, wherein a lower surface of the cavity is lined by the plasma-reflecting layer. A dielectric protection layer is present on a lower surface of the second die and lines the upper surface of the cavity. A material of the second substrate has a first etch rate for the plasma and a material of the dielectric protection layer has a second etch rate for the plasma. The second etch rate is less than the first etch rate.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of gettering that provides for a high efficiency gettering process by increasing an area in which a getter layer is deposited, and an associated apparatus. In some embodiments, the method is performed by providing a substrate into a processing chamber having one or more residual gases. A cavity is formed within a top surface of the substrate. The cavity has a bottom surface and sidewalls extending from the bottom surface to the top surface. A getter layer, which absorbs the one or more residual gases, is deposited over the substrate at a position extending from the bottom surface of the cavity to a location on the sidewalls. By depositing the getter layer to extend to a location on the sidewalls of the cavity, the area of the substrate that is able to absorb the one or more residual gases is increased.
